without tool compensation) can per-
form and how these tool motions are
obtainable (as from page 6-10);

6. Programming - Introduction

Progra,rm
On conventional milling machines, all
operations used to oe performed consec-
utively by manual control.
Modern milling machines are equipped
with a numerical control (NC) unit. The
entire sequence of operations required
for machining a workpiece is described
in a program.
With the aid of such a program, the con-
trol can machine the workpiece auto-
matically.

Blocks
The program for machining a workpiece is
written in a language understood by the
control system.
Programs are subdivided into blocks con-
taining all necessary data such as feed
rate, spindle speed , cutter path etc.

Words
A word is composed of an address and a
number. The number may be
r- Word Word
- either a code, for example GO, which

~G [;Jz;~
means 'Moving at rapid traverse rate',

- or a value, for example F2.000, which

means 'Feed rate 2000 rnmVmin'.

Leading zeros in words or block numbers

may be omitted in writing a program, so
you may write N1 instead of N0001, or GO
instead of GOO.

Commands - self-retaining/

Each word in a block is a comnand for
the control system of the milling ma-
chine.

referred to as modal comnands, are ef- •

Tool compensation
To obtain the one and same contour on a
workpiece with different cutting tools,
the.se tools have to describe different
paths. However, to facilitate pro-
gramning, it will be sufficient if you
simply program the workpiece contour and
let the control do the rest: it can
automatically calculate the cutter path
required for machining such contour.
The different tool radii and tool
lengths can be stored either in the tool
store T or in the compensation store D
of the control. In tool store T, the
data are assigned to the tool number, in
tool compensation store D to a compensa-
tion number. The tool compensation val-
ues can then be called in your program
by entering either the corresponding
tool number T .•• or the corresponding
compensation number D ...

Compensation on contour With compensation Compensated cutter path

~-----. ---------..,
When compensation on the contour is
called, the control compensates for the
cutter radius. \
\
\ .

Tool length compensation \

When tool length compensation is called, \
the control compensates for a deviating
tool length. '-------------- :J
Programmed contour

If you have determined the zero point by

contacting the workpiece surface with a
tool (page 4-12), the reference length
is the length of the tool used in set-
ting up the machine. Any tool lengths
deviating from this 'zero tool' are
stored by the control and applied as
required.
If a preset tool has been used for de-
termining the zero point (page 4-10),
the control stores the absolute lengths
of all tools and applies them as re-
quired.

6-3
 6. Programming - Introduction

Tool motions
Straight motions

The tool can move along a straight path

to any point within the working area of
the machine.
On the basis of the coordinates of the
start-off and target points, the control
calculates the cutter path and the way
in which the feed motions have to be
coupled to move the tool along a de-
sired path.
This process is called 'linear inter~
polation' (for programming examples see
page 6-12).

Circular motions

The tool can also move along a circular

path, provided such circular motion is
in one of the· main planes of the coor-
dinate system.
The control calculates the cutter path
and the necessary linkage of the feed
motions if the starting point, the end
point and the centre of the full circle
or circular arc are known.
This process is called 'circular inter-
polation' (for programming examples see
page 6-18).

Rapid traverse motions

Rapid traverse means that each machine

slide moves at maximum speed until it
has reached its target position.

6-4
6. Prograrrming - Introduction

Program structure
A workpiece contour is subdivided into
straight lines and circular arcs.
In each machining step (program block),
the control can move the cutting tool
along one of these geometrically simple
contour elements.
The blocks are programmed one by one.

Block number - N
The block number i~ an identification
number and can be freely selected be-
tween NOOOO and N9999.
It has no effect on the sequence of the
blocks in a program.
The sequence of the machining steps is
determined by the sequence of input.
Leading zeros may be omitted, so you may
write N1 instead of N0001.

Each block number should be used only once in a program.

Feed rate F
Feed rates are programmed Under an F ad-
dress. %
The lowest feed rate obtainable is F2.

Feed rates are self-retaining (page 6-2).

Feed motions are only obtainable while

the spindle is running.

For calculating the feed rate F you may

use the. Cutting Data Calculator of the
DIALOG 4 control (see Chapter 7).

Rapid traverse rate - GO

Command GOO (or GO) is used for program-
ming tool motions at rapid traverse
rate.

Each slide moves at its maximum rate until it has reached its
target position. This means that the tool does NOT move to
the target point along a straight line.

Rapid traverse motions are also obtainable while the spindle

is not running.

The target point for rapid traverse motions can be programmed

- in absolute or chain dimensions,
- in Cartesian or polar coordinates.

6-6
 6. Programming - Basic infonnation

Coordinates - XIY/Z Z.K Y.J

Coordinate values are programmed under
the addresses X, Y and Z, either in abso-
lute dimensions or in incremental (chain)
dimensions.

Coordinates - I/J/K
The coordinates of a pole or centre of
circle are programmed under the addres-
ses I, J and K.

Tool change - T
A tool change is programmed by a T ad-.
dress and a four digit numeral (T1 to
Tgggg) identifying the tool to be used
for the next machinirg operation. To-
gether with the T address and the tool
number you call the associated tool
compensation values from the tool store.
When a block contains a T address, the
program is interrupted upon completion of
that block: 'Tool change' button (21) as
well as the indicating lamp in the re-
mote-control handbox start flashing. The
operator has to mount the tool called.
Upon acknowledgement of the tool change
by means of button (21), the program can
be continued by pressing 'Cycle start'
button ( 20) •

A tool change T cancels the previously programmed feed rate F

and the programmed spindle speed S. For this reason, the
first block after a tool change must always be a main block.
Command TO cancels the call of tool compensation values: com-
pensation value = o.
Tool compensation values called by a T address are self-re-
taining as from the end of the block in which they are called.

Coolant supply - M8, M9

Command M8 is used for starting, Mg for
stopping, the coolant supply.
MS and Mg are self-retaining.

6-7
 6. Programming - Basic infonnation

Spindle speed - S
Spindle speeds are programmed under an S
address directly in rpm. The following
spindle speeds are obtainable on FP2/3/4
NC and FP42 NC machines (equipped with a
3-phase AC drive motor):
o, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160,
200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630, BOO, 1000,
1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3150 rpm.

If intermediate values are programmed,

the control will automatically use the
next lower speed; for values below 31.5,
the control will use 31.5 rpm.
For the vertical spindle, the range can
be extended to 6300 rpm by means of a
mechanical selector. The above table of
speeds will then start at 63 rpm and
continued with 4000, 5000 and 6300 rpm.
The control has to be informed about any
such change by selecting mode 16 and en-
tering command S1 or S2 (see Chapter 7).

&tO serves to disengage the spindle from

the transmission in program-controlled
operation (shifting to neutral).
On FP5/6/7 NC machines (equipped with a
DC drive motor), the spindle speed is
steplessly programmable.

Speed ranges: FP5 NC: 18-6300 rpm

FP6/7 NC: 35-1800 rpm
or 35-2500 rpm

I~rtant: When the grinding head is

used (on FP2/3/4 NC and FP42 NC) , the
maximum permissible spindle speed is
1000 rpm. Failure to observe this in-
struction may lead to accidents.

Direction of spindle rotation:

+ means clockwise rotation;
- means counterclockwise rotation.

To save time, always program the spindle

speed one block before the tool contacts
the workpiece.
Input for spindle stops: SO without sign.
Spindle speeds are self-retaining.

For calculating the spindle speed s you

may use the Cutting Data Calculator of
the DIALOG 4 control (see Chapter 7).

6-8
6. Programming - Basic infonnation

Lube pulse - M7
Lube pulses can be prograrrrned by command
M?. After a block with M7, a lube pulse
is released, either the next time all ma-
chine slides are standing still or during
the next rapid traverse motion.

These lube pulses are indispensable in operations involving

numerous short slide motions (less than 15 mm), otherwise the
oil film might be disrupted •.

To ensure adequate lubrication, a lube

pulse (M7) and a long slide stroke (min
100 mm) at rapid rate should be pro-
grarrrned after approx 50 short strokes.

End of program - M2, M30

The end of a program is identified by the
word M2 or M30: spindle and feed motions
will be stopped.
Upon command M2, a·program section can be
repeated by calling the block where such
repetition is to start, or the program
can be continued.
If M30 .is used, a new machining operation
is initiated, starting with the first
program block.

Program stop - MO
Command MO is used for stopping a pro-
gram: the machining operation is inter-
rupted upon the completion of the block
in which the command is prograrrrned. To
resume the program, press 'Cycle start'
button ( 20) •

The first block after a program interruption by MO must be a

main block.

IJwell G4F
Command G4 F interrupts the feed motion
for a certain time.

The duration of such a dwell can be pro-

grarrrned in seconds between 0.1 and 99.9
sec. G4 F means a dwell of 10 seconds.

The passing of the dwell time is shown in

seconds in the upper right corner of the
display screen.

Dwells are NOT permissible within compensations on the contour

Commands G2 and G3 can be used to program
circular cutter paths. The circular con- z
tour must be in one of the main planes of
the coordinate system.

The contour is defined by

-the radius (from 0.2 to 16 000.00 mm),
- the starting point (tool position from
preceding block),

and, in the case of circular arcs,

- by the target point.

Tool compensation values

If your machine is equipped with a DIALOG
4 control, you can store your tool com-
pensation values
o either in tool store T
o or in tool compensation store D.
When using DIALOG 3 programs, always use
compensation store D for entering your
tool compensation values.

Make it a rule to decide before program

input which of the two stores you are
going to use, either T or D. A mixture
is not advisable, since each call of tool
compensation values from store T has to
be deleted before a tool compensation
value can be called from store D, other-
wise the control would add the two com-
pensation values.

Tool store T
The following points should be observed
if tool compensation values are called
from tool store T:
• the tool compensation values are self-
retaining;
• tool length and tool radius compensa-
tion values should be programmed to-
gether with a tool change;
• in the input dialog for compensation
on the contour (page 5-33), the re-
quest for D (tool compensation number)
should be answered by simply pressing
the transfer key;
• command TO is used for deleting a tool
compensation value;
• tool compensation values called by ad-
dress T or deleted by TO will enly be
activated as from the end of the block
in which they are programmed.

Tool store T contains a tool table. For Tool table

each tool number in this table you enter
the radius, radius allowance, length and
length allowance to be applied to the Tl R RA L 1,0 A 0,1
tool concerned. Tl*l R RA L Z,O A 0,5
If you wish to use a tool for several
operations (for example, roughing and Tl*Z R RA L AO,l
finishing), proceed as follows:
under T/tool number you enter the basic
compensation values (e.g. for roughing);
under T/tool number/*/another number you
may enter additional compensation numbers
(e.g. for finishing).

from tool store D:
• the tool compensation values are ef-
fective in only one block;
• tool length and tool radius compen-
sation values should be programmed to-
gether with the feed/infeed motion.
• Important: if tool compensation values
have already been called from tool
store T without having been deleted,
the control will add the length com-
pensation values to the compensation
values from store D.

Tool length compensation

When entering tool length compensation
values, you should differentiate between
two alternatives, depending on whether
the zero point has been determined by z
contacting the workpiece surface with a m
zero tool ~r page 4-12) or by using a .'l
preset tool (page 4-10). ~

3D interpolation
3 D interpolation means that simulta-

obtainable. Tool length compensation is
permissible, radius compensation on the
contour (G41/G42) is not permissible.

Subroutines
lf a workp1ece requires several identi-

tions need be programmed just once in a
subroutine.
A differentiation is made between the
following:
• macros,
• local subroutines,
• subroutine blocks.

Macros

dently of the main program. The control
is equipped with a macro memory storing
the macros separately of the program 91>.. ............... . Macro memory

If mirror imaging about two axes is used, y

the procedure described above is per-
formed twice consecutively.

Linear and rotary offset

of coordinate system
A relocation of the coordinate system may
be. composed of

- a linear offset
and
- a rotary offset.

In the same way, the coordinate system

may only be shifted in a linear direction
or only be rotated about a pole (point of
rotation).

If a linear offset and a rotary offset

are programmed at the same time, the con-
trol will proceed in the following order.
First, the coordinate system is shifted
paraxially. This results in the estab-
lishment of an 'intermediate coordinate I

""~<$>~-~,
system' which will then be the basis for
defining the coordinates of the pole.
Finally, the coordinate system is rotated
about this pole through the desired
1
angle.

There are two alternatives: absolute or ---_) -----

offset
additive offset.
An absolute linear or rotary offset of
the coordinate system is always based on 1. Linear offset
the original coordinate system used when
the machine was set up.
An additive linear or rotary offset is
always based on the current coordinate
system.

A block with G53 may contain a feed motion. Rapid traverse

motions (GO) are not permissible.

When changing the mode of operation or

operating the emergency stop, the program

Drilling and milling cycles

Cycles are preprogrammed sequences of
commands for frequently used cutting ope-
rations.
The necessary tool motions are calculated
and performed by the control automati-
cally. Programming of cycles is dialog-
assisted by the control: upon entering
the cycle call, the control requests all
the data to be entered.

Cycle call commands:

Drilling cycles can be performed with

either the vertical or · the horizontal
spindle. In the latter case, the axis
addresses requested by the control have
to be .altered accordingly. This also
applies to plus and minus signs.
In the event of input errors proceed as follows:
- when you have entered a wrong word, use delete key on NC
keyboard (23), but NOT during graphic display of cycle, and
reprogram the entire cycle;
- when you find an error upon completion of input, you· may
correct each word in the cycle separately. In this case, al-
ways check all the signs used in the cycle.

6-85
 6. Programming - Cycles

Safety allowance
The drilling (boring, milling etc) depth
should be programmed in chain dimensions
in all cycles. The depth to be pro- Tool position
before call of cycle
grammed is the sum of the drilling or
milling depth (as specified in the part
drawing) and a safety allowance.
The safety allowance is determined by
the position of the tip of the tool
before the cycle is called.

2nd plane
In all cycles, a second plane can be
programmed. At this level, the tool can
move across the workpiece without col-
liding with an obstacle (see illustra-
tion). 2nd plane + safety a~lowance

At the beginning of a cycle, the tool is

advanced at rapid rate by the amount
programmed as a second plane. At the
end of the cycle it is again retracted
to such second plane at rapid rate.

In practice this means that, if a 2nd plane is programmed in a

cycle, the tool (in the preceding block) has to be posi-
tioned in such a way that its distance from the workpiece is
exactly equal to the sum of safety allowance + 2nd plane,
otherwise the tool will either jam into the workpiece at rapid
rate (if the distance is too small) or fail to move down to
the desired drilling depth (if the distance is too large).

Milling of rectangular pockets

For rectangular pockets, the coordinate
system should be placed in such a way
that two coordinate axes are parallel to
the side walls of the pocket. z z
The coordinate for the longer side y y
should always be entered first in reply
to the input dialog.

In cycles G71, G72, G73 and G74, the

signs of the data entered determine the
start point of the cycle. In cycles
X X
G72*1 and G74*1, the start point is
always in the centre of the pocket.
When the first coordinate has been First enter X First enter Y
entered, the control requests all other
data with the correct sign, even though
a sign for the length or width or depth
of a pocket may have been changed.

Thread milling
This cyclepermits the machining of
single~start or multi-start threads by
means of thread milling cutters.

Right-hand and left-hand threads are

progranrned by linking the cutter rota-
tion with the feed motion as required
(see illustrations).

Feed motion

Right-hand threads are obtained when the

following combinations are used:

G2 clockwise rotation
and
z- Z+
z- or Y- feed motion in negative
axis direction) G G
G3 counterclockwise rota-
tion and
Z+ or Y+ feed motion in positive

6. Prograrrming -Cycles

Thread milling
The approach of, and departure from, the
contour is by means of a quarter circle
or semi-circle.
The radius is freely selectable or can
automatically be calculated by the
control on the basis of thread diameter,
lead and cutter diameter.
The smallest possible radius is 1 mm.
The control automatically allows for the
amount of infeed required for the circu-
lar arc at the bottom of the hole. In

M78/M7g

If a contour pocket is concluded by com-

mand M79, the tool will move back to the
retraction plane when the pocket has
been cleared out.
Coomand M78 is used for clearing out a
contour pocket in several passes.
If M78 is used, the tool will again move
above the starting point·· of the first
contour when the pocket has been cleared
out, and will then be downfed to the
last preceding cutting depth.
This facilitates the repetition of the M79 M78

Patterns on circular arcs - G88

If the tool is to be positioned to a num-
ber of holes of equal angular spacing on
a circular arc for the purpose of per-
forming the same operation (for example,
drilling holes) at each point, such
points can be programmed as hole patterns
in a single block.
The cutting operation is programmed in a
subroutine block which can then, by means
program part repetition with subroutine
substitution, be replaced by another
subroutine block containing a different
cutting operation. Several cutting ope-
rations can thus be performed consecu-
tively at each point. ~ Angle between holes

To determine the coordinates of the

holes, the control requires the centre
point and the radius of the circular arc.
The positions of the holes on the cicu-
lar arc are defined by the following
data:
- number of holes, instruction to space
holes equally on circular arc, and de-
finition of starting angle;
- number of holes, definition of starting

 6. Programming - C axis

Coordinate system
All machines of the FP-NC line can be
used with an NC rotary table.
The rotary table can move at rapid trav-
erse rate and at a programmed feed rate.
The axis of rotation is called C axis.
The Z axis and the C axis are parallel
(page 4-1). It is good practice to place z
the coordinate system in such a way that =C·Achse y
the Z axis coincides with the C axis.

The travel of the rotary table about the

C axis is expressed in degrees, either in
absolute dimensions or in chain dimen-
sions. The angle of rotation is pro-
grammed under a C address.
The direction of rotation is always de-
fined as viewed from above.

When chain dimensions (G91) are used:

positive sign indicates.clockwise rotation,
negative sign indicates counterclockwise rotation.

When absolute dimensions are used, the

table rotates clockwise if the programmed
angle is larger than the actual value,
and counterclockwise if the programmed
angle is smaller than the actual value.

6-144
6. Programming - C axis

Setting up the rotary table

The reference point for the C axis (= 0°
position) is defined during set-up of the
machine .(page 4--6), in the same manner as
for all other axes.
Preferably use the angular position in
which the rotary table is at · its refer-
ence point. You are perfectly free, how-
ever, to choose any other position as a
zero point of the c axis. The following
symbol is used. for the rotary table zero
point:

To move the rotary table to its reference

point, select mode 3 and press plus but-
ton (10) for table rotation on the con-
trol console: rotary table moves to its
reference position with the T-slots par-
allel to the X axis.
The following symbol is used for the ro-
tary table reference point:

6-145
 6. Programming - C axis

Feed rate and radius 1n rotary milling

The NC rotary table can be rotated at the

following rates: Tool axis
-----.j
at rapid rate (2700 deg/min) and
- at feed rate (2 to 2000 deg/min).
At rapid rate, the tool can move simulta-
neously in all 4 axes.
At feed rate, the tool can move simulta-
neously about the c axis and in two lin-
ear axes (3 D interpolation).
Feed motions should always be accompanied
by 'Spindle ON' in the program, otherwise
the program will be interrupted.
The actual feed rate of the tool depends
· on the distance between the cutting edge
of the tool and the C axis. This dis-
tance is the radius used for the milling
- operation on the rotary table (see illus-
tration).
The actual feed (v) of the tool (mm/min)
and the programmed feed rate F (mm/min)
can be calculated as follows:

U =2 X R X 1T

Feed rate and radius in rotary milling

EXAMPLE
Calculating the feed rate
What is the feed rate F to be programmed
for milling a circle with a radius of 100
rrrn, when the actual feed is to be 125
mn/min?

Solution: u = 2 x R x ~
U =
2 x 100 rrrn x ~ = 628.3 rrrn
Insert into formula:

F - v X 360°
- u

F = 125 rrrn/min x 360" ,

628.3

F = 71.6°/min 72°/min
Feed rate to be programmed: F72.

Rotary index table

Rotary index table (FP2/3/4NC only)
The rotary index table (optionally
available for FP2/3/4NC machines) rotates
through a programmable angle between ma-
chining operations, but is standing still
while cutting is in progress.
For the rotary motion of the table, the
table top is lifted approx 5 mm out of
engagement of the crown gear teeth.

'. Before rotating the table, always move the tool to a position
where it cannot collide with the table or workpiece.
The indexing increments and indexing rate
can be set on the rotary index table
(page 10-18).
The following indexing increments are
obtainable: 5°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 90°, 180°.
If the indexing increment (angle) is to
be changed during a program cycle, a
program interruption (MD) has to be pro-
grammed at the desired point.

Programming a rotary motion

The rotary index table can be rotated in
only one direction: all angles programmed
under a C address have to be positive.
Such angles can only be programmed in ab-
solute dimensions (G90) and at rapid
traverse rate (GO); they must be between
0° and 360°.
Programming in absolute dimensions (G90)
When absolute programming is used, the
angles programmed under a C address refer
to a fixed zero point.
Make it a rule always to use the refer-
ence point of the rotary index table as
zero point.

Zero offsets (G54, G55. G56) are not permissible in operations

with the rotary index table,

6-154
6. Programming - C axis

Rotary index table

Emergency stop during indexing operations

It may happen that an angle has been

programmed under the C address, which is
not obtainable with the previously set
indexing increments. In this case, the
table top rotates at the preset incre-
ments until it moves beyond the pro-
grammed angular position.
At this point, the control automatically
initiates an emergency stop: the machine
is switched off.
To complete the indexing operation, pro-
ceed as follows:

Select mode 5 and press plus button

( 10).

Always move to reference point (page 4-6) before resuming the

work cycle after an 'Emergeny stop'.

Playback on machines with a-axis control

In playback operation
the control, when taking
over the first program
block, will store all
actual positions as a
program block. On ma-
chines with an active C
axis, this means that 4
axis positions will be
stored: X, Y, Z and c.
In machining, however,
the control can only
handle 3 axes simulta-
